The Hank in Chains Show
Episode #16 (10/29/2008)

After a three-week hiatus, The Hank in Chains Show returns! Episode 16 will feature the music of one of the most unique bands in underground music, Those Poor Bastards. Over the past few years, Lonesome Wyatt and The Minister have perfected the sound many refer to as “gothic country”. Whether or not you believe the label fits, their eerie, dark songs certainly would William Faulkner and Flannery O’Connor proud. Mr. Ecks and I will present and discuss songs they have released over the years, including tracks from their brand new album, Satan is Watching.

Artists/bands on this week’s show include: AC/DC, Hank Williams III, Joe Grushecky, Steve Earle, Route 44, Brian McGee and The Hollow Speed, John Lennon, Black Eyed Vermillion, Lucky Tubb, Cornpone, Watermelon Slim and The Workers, and Aerosmith.

Episode #0015 (10/01/2008)

Episode 15 of The Hank in Chains Show will feature the most revolutionary era of one of music’s most revolutionary artists: Bob Dylan. In the mid 60s, Dylan plugged in his electric guitar, sticking his middle finger up at his folk music fans who demanded that he keep making protest songs until he died… much like one of his heroes, Woody Guthrie. Instead of focusing on a folk music future, Dylan went on to fuse rock and roll with his own brand of complex and sometimes abstract poetry, bringing a level of creativity to rock that has yet to be surpassed. Mr. Ecks and Jared Morningstar will examine a selection of Dylan songs from this era, and discuss how they have inspired singer/songwriters for decades.

Artists/bands on this week’s show include: Dwight Yoakam, Mark Lanegan, Black Label Society, Dollar Store, Bill Monroe, The Muggs, The Paybacks, The Dempseys, Stone Temple Pilots, Mudcrutch, and Joe Buck.

The Hank in Chains Show
Episode #0014 (09/24/2008)

Episode 14 of The Hank in Chains Show will feature one of the greatest, and darkest, albums in the history of music: Bruce Springsteen‘s 1982 release “Nebraska”. Originally intended to be recorded as a full E-Street Band album, Springsteen instead decided to release the album as it was recorded: a collection of solo acoustic home recordings. A dark road trip across the economically depressed Great Plains, “Nebraska”, with its sometimes desperate characters, is a unique listening experience… especially with all of the lights turned off. Eric Morningstar and Jared Morningstar will examine this masterpiece of a recording, and discuss why it’s so memorable… even for people who don’t generally enjoy Springsteen‘s music.

Artists/bands on this week’s show include: Old Crow Medicine Show, Ray Wylie Hubbard, The Hard Left, Dana Fuchs, Warren Zevon, Jordan Zevon, Justin Townes Earle, Whitey Morgan and the 78s, Omar and the Howlers, The Smokin Bandits, and Eddie Cochran.

The Hank in Chains Show
Episode #0010 (08/20/2008)

Episode 10 of The Hank in Chains Show explores the world of underground country music… the styles of country music damned by corporate Nashville. The artists played on this episode aren’t CMT trash. Instead, regardless of the style of country they write and perform, their music still has soul… the same kind of country soul that Hank, Lefty, Cash, Merle, and Waylon possessed. They are also the artists that would perform as part of a revived Louisiana Hayride… the Opry’s old rival in the 40s and 50s. While no one knows if this revival will ever happen, this week’s episode of The Hank in Chains Show displays how strong such a show would be.

Artists/Bands Featured include: Hank Williams III, Dale Watson, The Gin Palace Jesters, James Scott Bullard, Songs from the Road Band, Hot Club of Cow Town, The Straight 8’s, Justin Townes Earle, The Hackensaw Boys, Brian McGee and The Hollow Speed, Those Poor Bastards, Wayne Hancock, Robbie Fulks, Whitey Morgan and the 78s, and many more!

Episode 9 of The Hank in Chains Show will feature the music of The White Stripes. Since the late 1990s, guitarist Jack White and drummer Meg White have been gracing the world with their unique blend of rock and roll, fused with elements of blues, country, bluegrass, and several other genres. Eric Morningstar and I take a look at their music and discuss how their incredible sound is far more complex than their often minimalistic instrument arrangements.

Artists/bands on this week’s show include: The Kinks, Stone Temple Pilots, Merle Haggard, Watermelon Slim and The Workers, Wiser Time, Dana Fuchs, Powder Mill, The Paybacks, High School Caesar, Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band, and Mudcrutch.
